I'm seriously at a loss here...
I tried updating the bios to the 1005.
No matter what I do, setting the sata to raid, trying to force boot from my raid 0 drives, it will NOT boot from the raid drives.
Even tho intel chipset say the raid is bootable.
Switching back to the original bios, at least I get my system back.
Every thing with this board is a struggle...
I feel sorry I bought it. Might get the UD7 instead if things keep going as they are now...
Edit:
After anther hour, I got it to work...
Had to backup the working BIOS, load it to the second bios, and only THAN I could update the bios and getting the raid to work and boot.
Everything might be a struggle..for YOU.
For the rest of us, it's incredible. This has been the easiest and most stable board I've ever used for overclocking in 20+ years.

The support for this board has been second to none! Hope you are able to get your problems resolved and give this a chance. I doubt very seriously you would be better off on the UD7, or get near the quality of support
I must confess, this RIVE has been the best mobo I've ever owned. It may be intimidating for the faint of heart, but this board has every possible adjustment parameter. It's been a month and I'm still learning new stuff.

Anyway, I'm a tad tired from work do... So I may try it again tonight or tomorrow... *yawn* have to get through the last day of work...
you have to load the raid drivers from a thumb drive during the w7 install, or raid will not work, as for cpuz not validating I an unsure about that, as all is well with v1.59Quote:

Yeah I know, I remember from my previous setup that I had to dop all that. However, after I select the driver and load it, it sees the array but then tells me it's not suitable for installing windows 7 onto. So I split it into 2x 2xdrive RAIDs but still no joy. Used the drivers from the website and again, no luck.Quote:

What I did was Reset Cmos and then reset the entire thing up. What I noticed when it happened was I disabled all the other drives in the list and only allowed for first boot option. I dont know if that was the cause but I was able to boot my raid OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS once I reset CMOS and did not disable all the other drives. I just left them as they were and put my raid0 set up as my first boot device. Also, I noticed when they were not booting that even though I would set raid0 and then restart. then set my array as the first boot, Upon restart it was resetting Raid back to AHCI for some reason. So it required another restart to make sure everything was what I set it at to get it to boot. And then it did in fact boot.
I tried to set the Normal OC Profile in the Bios and my system would not boot at all. I even purchased New RipjawZ 2133mhz to make sure it was not ram related. None of the profiles work for me. I do have 3 cards so I dont know if that is the reason or not.
Also, I have owned the UD7 and though I was able to hit 5.5ghz the board had major issues. Like as soon as you reach its maximum overclock it wigs out and starts an A6 error loop and does not come out of it. You dont want a UD7 until they get the Bios updated. Right now None of them change anything. They all did the same for me. AND not to mention they come with one of the Dual Bios already non functional on many of the boards. A buddy of mine has purchased 2 of them, I have owned 2 of them and one Assassin2 board and ALL of them came with one of the dual Bios not working. Im still going to get a UD7 again once they update the Bios and get the bugs out.
You dont have to load the Raid drivers from a thumb drive. You can load it from the DVD that comes with the Board. Thats how I did it. It does say something about the Intel ports not recognizing the Optical drive but I eliminated that issue by installing the Optical drive on the Asmedia ports. It saw my optical drive and I was able to load the Raid drivers via the Install DVD, You just have to remember to put the Windows Disc back in after loading the drivers.Quote:

I've had a few BSODs at stock clocks since I added 32GB of DDR3 1600 Vengeance. Anyone know why? It seems to happen randomly. Should I increase any voltages now that I'm running 8 sticks of ram? I set the XMP profile in the BIOS and that's it so far.
To: Asus Experts
I’ve another X79-Rog which couldn’t power up at all with no reasons. Everything’s plugged & the all LEDs were on. CPU was properly attached. Had tried Jumper & got no response. My best guess would be a power circuit issue. Anyone can provide the measure point & possible solution? Appreciate it & Merry X’max !:)
BTW…Started to familiarize myself with the board under cold & found it quite impressive though !

Bottom rad has 3x scythe 133cfm's, second has the same but installed the in the front, too much crap to move to get behind the rad. Will fix this soon.
Ran this with a little AC blowing on the rads. Temps go up to around 53c when AC kicks off, high 30's low 40's with AC running.

Thought i should bring this to your attention Raja---had the system running fine with bios 1004 gtx580 in slots 1 and 4, Areca 1680ix in slot 2, and gtx 560ti in slot 5. Tried a boost in the clock to 5065 which booted into windows but locked up after a short time. When I rebooted the system hung on code 66. I cleared the bios and then restored last working settings and it again hung on 66. Since I was having bios resets i updated to 1005 and tried again with settings that had worked fine with the established hardware and access. ; that again didn't post and hung at code 66. I went into the bios and tried a setting that had been suggested with PCIe problems of moving the setting to Gen2 instead of Gen3 the default--poof the system posted with that adjustment and I've now restored the working settings and then modified those up again to a higher frequency and I'm still OK. I have to wonder what would be up if I went out and got 2 or 3 7970s thought and the Gen3 was needed, there still seems to be some type of weakness with the bios related to PCIe and USB equipment--this is a great board and you guys are doing a fabulous job with getting it working perfectly
^After you clear cmos do you go into the bios and load Optomized Defaults and reboot again before loading your working profile/settings?
I also found slow write in my lsi 9750 with 2 vertex3 raid 0, 550 mb/s, both in rive and gigabyte x79 ud7. But after tweaking bios I had normal values of 1000 mb/s...

Well, I have been testing and slowness on raid0 can be randomly solved disabling erp support, prochot (giga boards), c1e halt, and speedstep, cpu thermal monitor and c3/c6, and putting windows to high performance... Possible has to do with pciex bandwidth...Quote:

Also fast shut downs.
Sorry just checked this, now I'm back to slow shout downs and boot ups.
Strange this worked yesterday, but not today, again disregard the above...
Ok, I went back in bios and instead of disabling Asm1061 storage controller.
I enabled it, and set it to IDE mode, now again fast shut downs and boot ups.
21 sec. I'll keep an eye on this and report back if its only temporary...
I just made some quick testing.

VCCSA 1.185
Dram 1.605 / 2133 / 10-11-10-28-1T
100x42 is Linpack stable but anything higher crash very fast. I think that my 3930k need more volts for higher than 4200mhz. My best bench clock is 5ghz with ~1.475vcore.
Thanks, updated OP

cos turbo mode is automatically disabled and a lower ratio set for you the first time you set a 167 strapped bclk since some people do not know that a higherbclk will need a lower ratio to keep end speed not crazy high.
you just need to go to cpu config menu and set the cpu ratio from there , the same page where you set cstates

Considering the 5.6 2-core screenshot I'm not sure stability is his main concern.

I doubt it would be 100 percent stable at that voltage. But I am shocked it is starting up and running anything with it
I also got my Photobucket account maxed out. And for some reason the uploader will not take a screen shot from my computer directly.
I have a question for someone who has tried it...
When trying to go for the 167 Strap,
I was told with the UD7 to try it by setting the strap and then lowering the Blck to 90.
Well on the RIVE there is no way to set it to 90 like there is a seperate setting on the UD7 for that.
So what would I do? Just lower the Blck to 156 from the 166?
very nice clock loud :up:Quote:

yup disable ht then try, if no dice then try cold I am sure you will be able to run at least x55-x56 since you can reset on both of them with out having to power down.Quote:

Raja I am thinking of trying the Bios you just posted. What Internal PLL voltage should you set??? for better overclocking?? Is the rest of this bios as 1005?? Thanks.
its just an enable/disable option. doesnt help with any cpus tested enabled or disabled but some users keep wanting to try so they can.Quote:

If you where trying would you use the one Raja just posted or 1005???
The tuning will be for Gen 3.0 cards so I would not worry about that part. Doubt you are going to see additional OC headroom on your setup but you can flash for peace of mind if you wish.
On my UD7 board I was only able to get 5.0ghz at 1.49 volts. And 4.9 @ 1.48v. Then I tried for 5.1ghz and could not even hit it with 1.64v. Then I hooked up SS and ran it up to 5.5ghz at 1.59 and ran vantage only. I hit 5.6ghz @ 1.64 but only for a few seconds and then I went to sleep for the evening and in the middle of that night my board blew up from condensation. I am fairly sure the reason was a thermal one why there seem to be a limit on liquid and air at 5.0 or 5.1 on these chips even though it doesnt look to be too hot. I have a friend who is running a bunch of boards and chips too and he had the same issues. Not many people were hitting over 5.2Ghz on Liquid. My board constantly posted all the way to the "starting windows" screen but no logo spins once it hits that wall. Funny because if I downed the voltage tp 1.49 it would spin and almost go in. But once I was over 1.52v it was the same lock up at the same spot starting windows.Quote:

Same problem here - I have a brick wall at 5.1 on water. It will run everything (WP1024M, all 3D) at 5.08/5.09, but once it ticks to 5.1 or above it crashes. Haven't had the chance to take it cold yet but hopefully it will give up some more under more extreme conditions.Quote:

Cheers Mate. I will flash the other bios to 1005 and try that first. Then this new one after.
so let me get this straight, you left the ss hooked up and running after you hit 5.6 and then went to sleep and then your UD7 blew up from condensation?Quote:

I've pretty much tried everything from reseating the CPU multiple times, changing memory slots, unplugging USB devices and so on.
I don't think it's related to the IMC either considering that it's able to run 32gb stable at stock VCCSA until going above 2000..
Not that I desperately want to upgrade the bios, but being able to would be nice. Any ideas?
i had code 67 overcame by switching LN2 jumper to disabled. Note that default is set to enabled, the manual illustrated wrongly.Quote:

SO, I bought this chiller and figured I would take all precautions and set it up for 24/7 usage. Well, 3 and a half days into it, SAME THING!
I had set it up the way the Cooler express manual said to. Then after I contacted Cooler Express and asked them what the deal was. I even sent them pictures! And they told me, Well, You can read my email and their response. Their response is first....
Hello,
Noted your email and our engineer reply you as below:
Congratulations to you on overclock skill with new X79 chipset and a 3930K, which reach 5.6ghz.
But please be attention: to run it in long hours you must enhance on temperature maintainance, and the range of temperature maintaining to motherboard must enlarged, and must let in the air on little space, the surrounding of socket
must closely blocked up with available temperature maintained material.
Try more times then you will have experience to know how to deal with it.
Regards,

主旨:RE: registration of warranty
Hello,
After using it for 3 days. And following all instructions to the letter. The system, while running at -50c at stock voltage and speed(I had overclocked during the day and this was the night when I wind down )
It saturated the motherboard, CPU and Socket. I used Black electrical tape and it was absolutely covering everything.
Then I used the eraser and then I used the foam pads. I was able to clock to an impressive 5.6ghz with the new X79 chipset and a 3930k but then it made a ffffumph sound and the screen locked upand I tried to restart.
It went into a loop which I assumed was a cold bug. So I restarted again and it said I had a corrupt Bios. The board I have uses a backup bios to fix the primary one and it tried.
But then I turned it off after it updated and waited an hour. I unhooked the Nozzle and pulled all my components off.
The socket still got loaded with water. I believe there is no way to use this machine 24/7. There is no way to stop the condensation after 3 or 4 days of usage.
The back of the board was loaded up with water too. All foam pads were dripping and water ran out of the socket. I cannot see how its even possible that water got into the socket the way I installed it.
My question is….
Do you know anyone who is running these 24/7? Or are people using these only for special benching and then clean up once done and completely install everything again before another session?
Thanks
So basically his answer was... Maybe you get good once you blow a few more boards up:eek:
My resolution.... No more running the chiller 24/7:D
I dont blame those guys at all. Awesome product and worth the money you pay for them. But I would hope they would change their manual and put in some instructions because on their site they say they can be used 24/7. Though I dont know anyone who does it.
This must be why no voltage over 1.49 seems to get it stable. Do you think its spiking without seeing it? Because once on phase it handled even lower voltage.Quote:

So, I went looking through the Bios to see what auto sets and notices that it sets the CPU I/O to -63 and the CPU I/O Drive strength to -63 as well. Could this be hindering me?
I say this because when I first set the preset Normal OC profile it had the PLL all the way down to 1.35 and it would not boot. So I reset and went back into the Bios looking around and put that setting back to 1.80 and booted with that being the only change from the OC normal Profile.
Any reason for Asus making these Auto changes in Skews when a 166 strap is used? I cant seem to find anything related to what these settings actually Skew!
Need your help here... Coming from an RE III/980x to to the RIVE/3960x. Had everything up and running for 2 days. No over clocking just playing some Bf3. Wanted to make some changes before I started to OC so I reinstalled win 7. Now my machine is stuck on the A2 post code. I read back through this thread and someone mentions it's the video initialization. I looked the code up and it says IDE Detect. Also read that others had their post taking along time because of this post code. Well, I can't get past this post code now. 15 minutes and it is still hung. Any ideas? Should I get a new board? Is it my video cards (3 x 480s). Everything is on water.
Thanks in advance for your help!
My R4E is en route and I have a question after consulting the manual.
If I have (2) x16 video cards and (1) OCZ RevoDrive (PCIE SSD) will either of the following configurations work?
(1) PCIE1 x16, PCIE2 x8, PCIE4 x16
(2) PCIE1 x16, PCIE4 x16, PCIE6 x8
Thanks.
